When I bought the original setup, I received the power supply 24VAC-20VA, but i did not order the enclosures at that time. After I finished testing the cameras and was satisfied i ordered the enclosures. I noticed that they have the AC2420 which I received, but they also have one called the AC2440 ( I assume 24VAC-40VA), I guess it is possible that with the enclosure added I need the more powerful one (AC2440) and the salesman just missed that I had the smaller version? Once again, thanks for your help. Estel J Hines

I am new to cctv, the unit setup without problems, and I am in the process of installing 4 cameras with it. 1. The IR camera setup without problems (camera 1, 12v) 2. The Dome camera setup without problems (camera 2, 12v) 3 Still have two Box cameras to install (24v) - tested with just the camera with success. - mounted the first in the outdoor enclosure (also requires 24v -fan/heater) - AC2420 Power Supply didn't supply power) - tried 2nd AC2420 Power Supply, it stopped working also) - I had been told to: - combine the wires from the dc power cable into two bundles of 3 wires: - power from rg59 combo cable - power to enclosure (fan/heater) - power to camera any idea why it is blowing the power supply? Thanks for any suggestions. Estel J Hines

I have two box cameras that are exactly the same. I also removed the camera from the enclosure. I have tested both these cameras with just the camera connected, which was working for both of them previously, (they both have a power light, that lights up when they are receiving power), but, neither shows a power light anymore. (i suspect do to both the 24v power supplys being fryed?)

1. the IR camera which is working fine, has its own 12v power supply, plugged into a surge protector. 2. The dome camera which is working fine, has its own 12v power supply My problem camera is the "box" camera, which has a 24v AC2420 power supply plugged into a surge protector. and i am trying to supply 24v to both the camera and the enclosure.

ok, and thanks for sticking with me on this. The camera is a (24v)box camera that has two screws for power to be supplied. When I first tested it i just connected the two wires from the power combo cable onto the two screws and it worked fine. Now I am going to add the enclosure (24v) 1. i start with the two wires (that have the power) from the combo cable 2. now i add the two wires (short length of wire) from the camera to the combo cable wires 3. I then add the two wires (short length of wire) from the enclosure to the two bundles of wires This is the way I am attempting to supply power to both the camera and the enclosure. perhaps my wording of "bundles" is wrong, if so, sorry about that. Thanks for hanging in there with me

I am using rg59 combo cable. - I tested the box camera first by just connecting the two wires of the power cable to the two screws on the box camera (24v). It worked without problems when I did this. - when I put the camera in the weather enclosure, in order to supply power to the enclosure (fan/heat 24v) I had to run to wires to the enclosure also, so that required that i bundle the two sets of three wires, so i could run power to the camera as well as the enclosure.
